Hi Everyone,

I have a question about dates, please.

I am using Coldfusion and Postgres
I have a function that takes the ate entered in a form and converts it  
into an odbc date format.

So the string ends up being;
{d '2008-04-10'}

Strangely, the function is used throughout the application and causes  
no issues but on one particular template.
And this same templates is replicated for other clients - that  
seemingly have no issue .


The SQL is simply

Insert into table (datefield) values ({d '2008-04-10'})

Now, I have read the docs and do not see the {d '2008-04-10'} format  
as being a valid date data type...
But it works elsewhere in the application / on other sites - thus my  
current state of confusion.

Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have.



Please contact me if you should have any questions.
